Receiving Your Diploma
Fall 2021 graduates may have received their diplomas already; however, Spring 2022 candidates should receive their diploma by mail after the start of the Fall 2022 semester (approximately in October, 2022).
Make sure that your address is correct on the Student Information System. To change your address, you need to fill out a change-of-address form in the Admissions Office.
Please note that the Graduation Office will first certify your spring semester grades in order to issue a diploma. Your participation in the graduation ceremony does not indicate you have completed all requirements for graduation
In the meantime, if you need proof of graduation, you may request an official copy of your transcripts from the Admissions and Records Office, or you can print an unofficial transcript from the Student Information System.
